announced via advisory DSA 024-1.

The FreeBSD team has found a bug in the way new crontabs were handled
which allowed malicious users to display arbitrary crontab files on
the local system.  This only affects valid crontab files so can't be
used to get access to /etc/shadow or something.  crontab files are not
especially secure anyway, as there are other ways they can leak.  No
passwords or similar sensitive data should be in there.

We recommend you upgrade your cron packages.
